    Wir haben diesen Trail bei sonnigem Wetter absolviert (reine Gehzeit war bei rund 4 Stunden). Mit Pausen brauchten wir rund 6 Stunden. Der Anstieg über die Devil's Ladder und der Abstieg über den Brother's O'Shea's Gully sind anstrengend und fordern gute Konzentration (loses Geröll und grosse Felsstücke). Wunderschöne Aussicht auf dem Carrauntoohil lohnt sich jedoch.
